I'm legitimate. I'm a legitimate character actor. 1172 01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,870 It was kind of a strange thing to do after the show, 1173 01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:35,390 but there were so many kids, I suppose, 1174 01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:37,910 who wanted to see the character again 1175 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:40,470 and I remember just being in the audience 1176 01:23:40,480 --> 01:23:44,110 when all the kids go up to the front and he threw sweets out to the children, 1177 01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:47,430 and I remember catching his eye and catching a sweet. 1178 01:23:47,440 --> 01:23:50,950 My memories of him are really muddled up with Doctor Who. 1179 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:55,670 The character that we saw on the television screen 1180 01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:57,470 was my grandfather. 1181 01:23:57,480 --> 01:23:59,990 I think he came to love playing the Doctor. 1182 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,070 But it so much captured the public imagination. I know it did, yes. 1183 01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:07,230 Do you think you'll ever shake it off? Oh, yeah. How? Of course. 1184 01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:09,830 By making a success in something else. 1185 01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:13,390 Why do you think children like you? 1186 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,950 Because you're rather a grumpy sort of person. 1187 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,110 They find me a cross between the Wizard of Oz 1188 01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:19,750 and Father Christmas, you know. 1189 01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:22,070 He was a grumpy old man. 1190 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:27,310 We were rehearsing and something happened and he went totally 1191 01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:29,990 and they cancelled the rest of the rehearsal. 1192 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:31,750 He came in the next day 1193 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,910 and he came in with three little posies of flowers for the ladies. 1194 01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:38,390 He obviously thought, "What can I take the chaps?" 1195 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,990 And he came in with a tin of biscuits. 1196 01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,270 I found that so moving, somehow. 1197 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:46,270 It was his grumpy way of saying, "I'm sorry." 1198 01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:50,190 The difficulty is asking an actor to play eccentric 1199 01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,510 because then they start to be ACTING. 1200 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,030 Bill Hartnell wasn't acting it. 1201 01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,590 He was just implicitly, in his own way, eccentric. 1202 01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:03,270 The whole thing about Bill was that he was so unpredictable. 1203 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,830 You'd didn't know what he was going to do. 1204 01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:08,110 There was this mystery about him. 1205 01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:12,470 I knew he wasn't well when he was working with me. 1206 01:25:12,480 --> 01:25:15,470 You could really see the stress and strain on him. 1207 01:25:15,480 --> 01:25:17,070 I discovered later that he had 1208 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:21,110 really been suffering from something which caused him to have memory loss. 1209 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,350 I was very sad that he left the show. 1210 01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,480 That must have been an absolute body blow to him. 1211 01:25:30,440 --> 01:25:34,830 Oh, so you're my replacements.
